- Homebrew maintainers are motivated by fun, not money, which prevents burnout.
- The scarcest resource in open source is maintainer motivation, not funding.
- Social events like conferences re-energize maintainers and build friendships across projects.
- Homebrew prioritizes automation and community to keep maintenance fun and efficient.
- AI can handle boring tasks, but low-effort AI contributions should be rejected to avoid frustration.
- Maintainers should stop or quit tasks that aren't fun, as they don't owe users anything.
- Users should be grateful and respectful, avoiding entitlement and negativity.
- Companies should allow employees time to contribute to open source and sponsor projects.

- proven.lol is a simple, fun service for proving digital asset ownership, not intended for serious cryptographic identity verification.
- Users claim ownership of a URL and receive a verification snippet to add to their page or DNS record.
- After the snippet is added, proven.lol checks and creates a timestamped proof of ownership.
- Proofs are point-in-time, allowing users to remove the snippet after verification.
- Upcoming features include negative assertions (e.g., 'I'm not on Twitter') and integration with omg.lol.
- The service is centralized and not trustworthy for critical use; it's designed for fun.
